I have a 8 year old Amana washer which is having 2 problems. I'm trying to figure out if these may be issues I can fix myself or if I need to have someone repair it. In either case I'm also trying to figure out how much it may cost as I may get a new washer instead.
The first problem is that after the washer agitates, it doesn't go into the spin cycle. Instead, nothing happens until it gets to the rinse cycle. During the rinse cycle, no additional water is placed in the tub as it is already full of water. The rest of the rinse cycle works normally including the final spin.
The second problem is that a little bit of water leaks into the tub between washes (about 1" in 2-3 days).
Any advice would be appreciated.
